Pre-Quantum Electrodynamics

Diagnostics: Conservation Laws d.emd.ce

Fundamentals: After properly studying this module, you should be able to:

  • derive the continuity equation from Maxwell's equations
  • define the Poynting vector
  • give the formula for the energy in EM fields
  • state Poynting's theorem (integral and differential form)

Applications: As a strict minimum, you should be able to:

  • rederive the energy balance for Joule heating of a wire
